Chapter 19: The End or the New Beginning

After the break, we continued on the road, Bingtong did not lie, now is indeed the easiest stage, we don't have to ride in a deserted place, we don't have to go hungry, we return to the world of normal people, and finally arrived in City C at eight o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the brightly lit city, before we know it, we reached our destination alive, isn't it incredible, no, it's not difficult at all.

Bingtong's godfather would never have dreamed that we would come to visit in this way, just like two fugitives standing in the living room panting, and their family was terrified, thinking that something was wrong with us, and when Bingtong talked about us riding bicycles, they all opened their mouths wide and did not speak for a long time.

At the end of the ride, we arrived at our destination, and we didn't go sightseeing in City C, which was not part of our daily schedule, and at dawn the next day, we said goodbye to their family and went to the bus station to get back to City D, and as for the two classic cars, we smashed them to pieces very rockly.

Now I'm faced with a new question, what should I do when I return to D City, will I be as drunk and dreamy as Zelin and them, that's not what I'm going to do, and it's not the life I like.

It took a day and a half to ride, but in less than four hours we were back in D, and it was only a day or two away from D, but I felt like a year had passed, and it felt like a world away, Zelin rode his locomotive to the bus station and smoked a cigarette, looking at the two of us with disdain.

"Why did you get in the car, why didn't you ride back". He said and spat at me, and we smiled awkwardly, and if we were to ride back, I had a half-chance that we would die on the road.

We came to Bingtong's house, and before we entered the yard, we saw his father standing in front of us solemnly, without saying a word, what is the situation, I was a little panicked, when he opened his mouth, I was even more panicked, it turned out that today is the day to check the results of the college entrance examination.

"You two check the results and see how the test is" Father Huang turned around and pointed to the room on the right after speaking, "I just bought a new computer, you two check, just test how this computer is."

I was very confused by this sentence, and I suddenly wanted to laugh, this Huang father's thinking jump platform is not boundary, and it is the first time that I have heard that the college entrance examination results are linked to the performance of the computer.

Bingtong suddenly became wooden, with a serious expression, and motioned for me to check first.

Now I began to be serious, three weeks ago, I left the examination room freely, got on the car to D city, not to mention how happy I was, and finally said goodbye to the college entrance examination, leaving the place that I hated, but now three weeks later, almost at the same point in time, I entered the candidate's account and password with trembling hands, and I didn't dare to click the enter key, and the next number will change my fate.

"What's the ink, check it". Bingtong urged.

I glanced back at him, "Why are you so active now, why don't you check it first."

He wanted to say something, and held it back, I thought that after this enter button went down, it should be him who was more nervous, at least I knew that his father would not be more than five meters away from him at the moment, and he would definitely be able to take him down with a wooden stick in three seconds, and I would be safe for a short time no matter what.

When the enter key goes down, the computer screen shows the words 417, and expected, this is my real level, this score is almost hopeless in F city undergraduate, and there is no need to wait for the official score line, the competitive pressure of F city is the existence of the top three in the country, and my heart is just beating faster for a few seconds after seeing the score, that's all.

"If I do well in the exam, if my score can break four, I will be able to leave this gate safely" Bingtong added after speaking, "If I don't break four, we will rush out and escape from this place."

Sure enough, thirty seconds later, when the screen flashed 387, neither of us stopped for a moment, and rushed out, the cigarette that Father Huang was holding was all on the ground by the moving air we brought, and he didn't even react to what was happening, and we had already run out of the door.

We ran to the beach, I don't know why we ran to the beach, maybe it was to solve our own convenience.

"We add a piece of score, and we can stubbornly pick and choose from all the famous schools in the world" After speaking, I laughed out loud, "Bingtong, as for a score, you look at me, and you are half a catty, how calm, look at you again, learn with my brother, calm down."

"Do you know what a comparison is, maybe you don't realize this feeling of comparing with my friend's child, comparing with everyone, this is my family, this is the city I want to escape from for a long time, this score is enough to kill me"! Bingtong said coldly, I wanted a cigarette, I handed it to him, and I also wanted to witness the moment when he smoked for the first time in his life.

"Contrast is a part of each of our lives, and no one can escape it".

Instead of communicating, we sat in the old place and watched the sea climb up the beach again and again and back again and again.

It just so happened that a group of children were running and playing on the beach, laughing so heartlessly, laughing so arrogantly, I also thought, Bingtong also thought, no pressure, no worries, and even peed into the sea unscrupulously,

We want to be like this, too, and this group of kids is like. At the beginning, if we went back to that age, how happy we were, what was the pressure, we didn't think about it at all and didn't understand it, at that time we only knew that this kind of life was so happy.

Now, a few of the kids have grown up, sitting on the seawall and looking back, the sense of disparity is so strong that we can't say anything about it, so we just watch quietly.

"I'll cross this sea, go to the other side of the sea, and start over," Jiu Bingtong said, pointing to the sea.

I patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, start over, one day we will still be like those children, only know what happiness is, no worries, no pressure, only happiness"!

"Are you happy".

"Are you happy?"

No, not happy, because we have not set foot on this sea, we have not leveled this barrier, He has blocked our happiness.

"Then we'll flatten it, so that he can no longer stop us."

We stood up and shouted, "Fuck your sea, fuck your college entrance exam, fuck everyone." We don't care about the surprised stares and ridicule of others. They may feel that we are being crushed by life and the college entrance examination, but they don't know that one thing we finally understand now is that this is not the end, but our new beginning, we have to remove obstacles and find what we want to pursue at the moment, no one can stop it!
